Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 588 Report
"Hey, hey, hey, Tingting, that's your brother-in-law. Don't get any ideas about him."

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Ting raised her hand and slapped her friend's arm.

"Hehehe..." Qin Yunling laughed like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.

"Okay, Tingting, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm going to go to the post office to make a phone call."

"Alright, now that we're here, how could I let you go out to make a call? Come on, I'll take you to our office."

"No, what I'm about to say can't be overheard by others."

"Uh... alright then, since you put it that way, I won't keep you any longer."

"Once I've finished dealing with this and am away from 'hell,' I'll treat you to Peking duck to celebrate my rebirth."

Luo Ting smiled, pursed her lips, and raised her arms to give her friend a hug.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to treat me to roast duck. Yunling, no matter what, you have to protect yourself first. Although I've never dealt with Chen Laosan, based on what you've told me and what I've heard from others, this guy is not someone to be trifled with. We don't need to risk our lives for someone like him."

If you ask me, since you two have been separated for a long time and only see each other once every few months, you might as well just stay like this. There's no need to make things worse and completely ruin your relationship.

"Tingting, you don't know what happened, last night..."

Qin Yunling did not hide anything and recounted the events of last night from beginning to end.

"I thought I could remain indifferent, but I didn't expect that just hearing the sound would make me vomit. Just thinking about how I had a child with that kind of man made me feel nauseous from head to toe. I even felt like vomiting just thinking about my son."

I……"

"Are you pregnant?"

Before Qin Yunling could finish speaking, Luo Ting, who was hugging her, let go of her and put her hands on her shoulders, looking her up and down as she spoke.

"What are you talking about? Who would I get pregnant with? The last time I let Chen Laosan touch me was two years ago. How could I be pregnant? As for anything else, that's even more impossible. I would never do something so perverted."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ting rolled her eyes. If you won't let anyone touch you, how can you not go out and cheat?
Seeing her like this, Qin Yunling immediately knew what she was thinking and explained, "Tingting, it's not what you think. I felt disgusted after I found out he was messing around outside, so I didn't let him touch me."

I've been too embarrassed to tell you this before, but I was sick that year. Not only was my genital area itchy, but the discharge was like cottage cheese. I went to the doctor and found out what was wrong. I took medicine and got injections for three whole months before I was cured.

Before this incident, I never imagined he could be so promiscuous outside. After I got sick, I had someone keep an eye on him, and wow, I never expected he had such unique tastes—he just likes married women. I…

No, no, I can't talk about him anymore. Just mentioning him makes me feel nauseous again.

"Alright, I can't give you any advice on this. Since you've decided to report him, just do what you think is right. But I have to remind you, if Li Yancheng thinks that the clues and evidence you provided are not enough to do anything to Chen Laosan and is unwilling to accept your report, then don't keep messing around."

"I understand, I'm not a three-year-old. We're family after all, why are you so worried about me causing him trouble?" Qin Yunling pouted, her tone tinged with jealousy.

"Of course," Luo Ting nodded frankly and said, "He's my brother-in-law, okay? Don't you know me? I always side with my family, regardless of right or wrong."

Besides, he's not only good to my sister, but also incredibly kind to my parents. He's also so capable. If you had a brother-in-law like that, wouldn't you also side with him?

"Ha, with your family's conditions, no one else would dare to treat your sister or your parents badly, right? Would he dare? Let's not even talk about others, just look at Chen Laosan. Every time he comes to my house, he's so obsequious and docile towards my parents."

“It’s different,” Luo Ting waved her hand and said, “Whether it’s because you don’t dare to do it or because you genuinely want to do it, I don’t believe you can’t tell. Don’t you know how Chen Laosan treats you?”
Besides, when Li Yancheng and my sister were together, my old man was still in that small town in the Northwest, not only idle but also with many people watching him. Even so, he still dared to marry my sister. What else is there to say? This is called true friendship in times of trouble.

For that reason alone, our whole family speaks highly of them.

Hearing this, Qin Yunling fell silent. She suddenly remembered the rumor she had heard years ago, that Li Yancheng had single-handedly taken on several families for the sake of the Luo family's youngest daughter, and the key was that he succeeded, forcing those who had wronged Old Master Luo to abandon their troops to save their king, and even allowing Old Master Luo to return from the Northwest.

If that were the case, she suddenly felt more confident about reporting Chen Laosan to him.

Back when things were so tough, he dared to try something so futile, so he probably wouldn't refuse now, especially since Chen Laosan has really done a lot of illegal things.

……

On the other side, the meeting that Li Yancheng attended lasted for a total of one hour. It was attended by leaders from headquarters, the city, and the Municipal Supervisory Commission, who came to hear a report on the progress of the case investigation.

This case involves a wide range of issues and has resulted in so many deaths, attracting widespread attention. Everyone at all levels is taking it very seriously. Director Lin from the city specifically put aside his work to come and listen to the report, and urged the public security organs to solve the case as soon as possible, bring the criminals to justice, and give the organization and the people an explanation.

After a thorough investigation led by Jin Zhihai and his team, and based on the findings of the forensic autopsy, it has been determined that Qi Mingyuan, the deputy director of the police station in Mengou, did not commit suicide, but was murdered.

Although he died from ingesting rat poison, he did not buy the poison himself, nor did he drink it voluntarily. Instead, someone force-fed him the poison and controlled him, preventing him from making a sound, and watched him die before leaving.

The murderer's behavior was extremely bold and heinous; it was practically a provocation.

At the meeting, Director Lin from the city also proposed that the case be solved within a specified time.

There was no other way to do this; Qi Mingyuan was dead, which brought up the issue of a final verdict.

Although there is suspicion that he colluded with the people who stole from the grain depot, there is no substantial evidence. The driver Liu Erhong, who was arrested for the accident, is impossible to interrogate. All he does is cry. I don't know where a grown man gets so many tears.

If we can't find any evidence of Qi Mingyuan's crimes, then we must give an explanation to his family and all the officers of the Mengou branch for his death in the office.

To claim that someone committed a crime and that their murder was an internal act of murder to cover it up, there must be solid evidence; otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public.

Judging from the current situation, if Jin Zhihai can't get Liu Erhong to talk today, then Li Yancheng might have to go.

After leaving the conference room, he went to the reception room next to his office.

Inside the reception room, a woman in her early twenties sat there somewhat uneasy. Hearing footsteps coming from the doorway, she looked up.

Then, the young policeman named Yang Chundong, who had just gone to pick her up, walked in behind a man who looked to be about thirty years old.

"Director Li, this is Comrade Liao Xiaomei from the First Hospital of Chengdong."

Yang Chundong's words left Liao Xiaomei, who had just stood up, completely stunned.

Director Li?

Is this the Li Yancheng I've been looking for?
She could tell from the phone call that the person was probably young, but she didn't expect him to be this young. He looked a few years younger than Chen Laosan.

To become such a high-ranking official at such a young age... is he the same kind of person as Chen Laosan?
At that moment, Liao Xiaomei suddenly regretted her impulsiveness.

She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if Chen Laosan found out that she had secretly gone to the police station to report him.

Just as Liao Xiaomei was stunned, Li Yancheng extended his right hand with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Comrade Liao Xiaomei, this is Li Yancheng. We just spoke on the phone."

"Ah? Oh, Director Li... Hello, Director Li."

Startled awake, Liao Xiaomei hurriedly reached out to grasp the large hand, but before she could even touch it, she felt her fingertips being lightly touched, and then she saw the large hand withdraw.

This made her pause for a moment. It was the first time she had ever seen this kind of handshake. When she shook hands with other people, not to mention women, men always gave her a full grip, and some even didn't want to let go after shaking hands, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

This brings us to Liao Xiaomei's appearance. At twenty-six or twenty-seven, she was in her prime, exuding femininity. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a stunning figure. Most men, if not staring in disbelief, would at least take a second look.

If given the chance to shake hands, someone with even a slightly wicked mindset would really seize the opportunity and hold on tight, even if it's just for a second longer.

She met someone completely different today, which really made her a little...

"Please sit down, Comrade Liao Xiaomei. Let's talk while you're seated."

Before she could finish her random thoughts, she heard Li Yancheng speak.

"Oh, thank you, Director Li."

After sitting down, she finally regained some composure and began to carefully examine Li Yancheng, having only noticed his youth earlier.

Upon closer inspection, her heart immediately began to pound wildly, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter. How to put it? Although her initial goal in approaching Chen Laosan was to transfer her husband from the lower county back to the city, the fact that she was willing to sleep with him and agree to maintain this relationship for a long time spoke volumes.

Now that he sees someone about the same age as Chen Laosan, but much more handsome and of a higher rank, it would be strange if he didn't have ulterior motives.

Noticing the flicker in the woman's gaze, Li Yancheng frowned almost imperceptibly. After sitting down, he coughed and went straight to the point.

"Comrade Liao Xiaomei, you mentioned on the phone that you have a lead on a case we are currently handling. Do you know what case we are currently handling?"

"Uh...I don't know."

"You don't know?" Li Yancheng was a little confused, thinking to himself: Big sister, are you really making fun of me?

“You don’t know that you told me on the phone that you had leads on a case we were handling.”

"I only heard bits and pieces of information, and I don't really know what the specific case was. I just heard them say that they killed several people in a few days, and that if they were caught by the police, they would be dead."

"He also said...he also said...um..."

At this point, Liao Xiaomei rolled her eyes and tried hard to recall.

"Oh, right, they also mentioned tire tracks, and why they didn't deal with that person immediately but instead dragged it out for a few days. They also mentioned you, Director Li, saying that if they were caught by you, no one could escape. They seemed to be very afraid of you."

Her words sent a jolt through Li Yancheng; it seemed... she was referring to the very case they were handling.

"Comrade Liao Xiaomei, where did you hear this from, and who said it? Do you know the person who said these words?"

"I know one of them, but I've never met the other one."

Who is this person you know?

"This..." When the crucial question was raised, Liao Xiaomei seemed a little hesitant. She first glanced at Yang Chundong, who was sitting to the side taking notes, and then looked at Li Yancheng. Her mouth moved, but she didn't say a word.

"Comrade Liao Xiaomei, you can rest assured that we will keep the whistleblower's identity confidential. Apart from Xiao Yang and me, no one else will know who the whistleblower is."

Seeing her hesitant manner, Li Yancheng knew what she was thinking and immediately made a promise.

But Liao Xiaomei didn't want that promise; she wanted more.

"Director Li, I know you have rules, but what I'm about to say, could... could we only talk to you about it?"

Just then, the phone rang in the next office.

Li Yancheng turned his head and gestured to Yang Chundong, who was already looking over.

"Xiao Yang, go answer the phone."

"Good leadership."

Yang Chundong put down his pen, got up and walked out of the meeting room. He understood the meaning of the leader's gesture earlier, and did not close the door behind him after leaving.

"Alright, Comrade Liao Xiaomei, now it's just the two of us. You can say whatever you want."

Liao Xiaomei gently bit her lip, glancing at the open door of the reception room out of the corner of her eye. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Director Li, I can provide you with everything I know, but I have a condition, and I hope you can agree to it."

"Let's talk about it first."

"Could you please help me transfer my spouse from Yunmi County back to the city?"

???

Li Yancheng was slightly taken aback. He thought Liao Xiaomei would make some kind of condition, but he didn't expect it to be this.

"Which unit does your spouse work for in Yunmi County? What is their name, and what is their position?"

“My husband’s name is Zhou Cheng. He works in the county government office of Yunmi County. He’s just an ordinary clerk.”

"If you could be transferred to the city, which unit would you like to work for?"

!!!

Li Yancheng's words made Liao Xiaomei's eyes shine even brighter than before.

"If possible, it would be best to go to a supply and marketing cooperative or a department store."

Both of these companies were top-notch in those days, with excellent benefits and compensation. Young people working in these companies were guaranteed to find wives, whether they were women or men. As for the future, who could foresee what the future held?

Li Yancheng nodded indifferently: "I can try to bring your lover back, provided that the clues you provide are valuable."

He didn't say anything about cooperating with the public security organs being every citizen's duty. In his opinion, the woman's request wasn't excessive. Transferring someone back from another county wasn't a difficult task for him.

Relieved by Li Yancheng's promise, Liao Xiaomei thought for a moment and then asked, "Director Li, do you know Chen Xiangyang?"

"Who? Chen Xiangyang? Chen... isn't he often called Third Brother?"

"Yes, that's him."

"I don't know him, I only know this person. What, is the clue you provided related to him?"

Upon hearing the name Chen Xiangyang, Li Yancheng immediately sat up straight, and his expression became much more serious.

As far as he knew, this third son of the Chen family was indeed no good person, and it was quite possible that he had participated in or directed someone to commit murder.

“It is indeed related to him. Last night…” Liao Xiaomei nodded and recounted the conversation she had overheard in the west wing room last night.

Although the conversations in her account were fragmented, it was easy to deduce that the cases of Yue Pingxin and Wang Guangjun at the Artillery Bureau Detention Center, as well as the series of events that occurred in Mengou, were all the work of this man surnamed Song, who was under Chen Xiangyang.

This man surnamed Song has likely already left Beijing overnight.

It's okay if they leave. As long as we know who committed the crime, the investigation will be quite simple once we have a clear focus.

He was now more interested in the woman in front of him, and under what circumstances she had overheard such a lengthy and private conversation between those two people.

He didn't believe the two men were saying these things on the main street. If they didn't even have this much caution, they would have been arrested long ago, and wouldn't still be at large until now.

In his view, the two people must have said those things in a very private place. If it was a private place, why would this woman be there?
"Comrade Liao Xiaomei, what is your relationship with Chen Xiangyang?"

!!!

Swish

Liao Xiaomei's face immediately turned bright red.

Seeing her reaction, Li Yancheng immediately understood what was going on.

Just as he was about to say something more, Yang Chundong, who had gone to answer the phone, suddenly appeared at the door.

"Director Li"

"Huh? Who called?"

Yang Chundong quickly walked to Li Yancheng's side, bent down, and whispered in his ear.

"Director Li, the woman on the phone says her name is Qin Yunling and she wants to report a criminal lead and some evidence to you."
